Hi everyone,
We have had a great day today in Crew Gerrard. I am particularly impressed with the attitude and team work I saw in maths this morning. It was such a great atmosphere to be a part of. It was difficult to choose the HoWL heroes for today, and they are:
Working hard: Amelia 🦸♂️
Get smart: Belle 🦸♂️
Being kind: Evie 🦸♂️
Our HoWL average was 3.4!
I want to see more of the same tomorrow! 😆
Today in crew we had a great time writing invitations for our Gruffalo party. The children used their phonic knowledge to write to the different characters in the story. They were encouraged to use their fred talk and phonics boards to write more sounds independently. 🐸We cant wait to celebrate tomorrow! 🎂
We also recapped our new maths learning using the whole/part model. The children were great and remembered lots of different ways of making the number 5. They loved pulling the numbers apart!
We also looked at the equal sign in more depth and how we use this in our maths learning. We had great fun.
Our HOWL heros today were Grace for being kind. Grace showed lovely manners and caring attitude towards others at diner time. We love having her in our crew. Logan received our HOWL hero for getting smart as he tried so hard during his phonic session and then used his new knowledge when writing his invitation. Well done both of you 🌟
We have had a terrific Tuesday in Crew Wilson!
Highlight of the day:
Today in computing we continued with our work of ‘TV Chef’s’ and wrote some simple instructions for making a jam sandwich. We learned that we had to be very specific about what we needed to do as things quickly went wrong when the instructions were jumbled up!
Howl Heroes:
Work Hard: We’ve got a double-whammy for this Howl today as Miami and Finlay collaborated so well when writing their instructions. Finlay was very patient and Miami had great listening skills when trying to sound out the words, well done!
Get Smart: This Howl goes to Stevie today for her fantastic sentence in our Write Stuff lesson. Stevie read her work back and realised it didn’t make sense, so she fixed it independently, great work!
Be Kind: Our Be Kind Howl goes to Dalton for his fantastic input to all of his lessons today, and keeping everyone in check in the cloakroom – well done!
Howl Average:
3.5
We are slowly creeping up to 4, we are working on our noise levels in the classroom to show green standard learning all the time!
Today, we could’ve given anyone HOWL hero… but the lucky 3 were:
Work hard: Lexi 👩
Get smart: Maxi 🧑
Be kind: Deacon and Kelby
🤩 We are super proud to say that our HOWL average today is 3.2! We’ve worked super hard to achieve this and we’re really now thinking about what each HOWL really means.
Tricky Tuesday! Today there has been some miscommunication and WIFI issues that have meant things have been a bit ‘tricky’ at home and at school today! However, being the Crew that we are, we have survived! 😁💪
Star moment of the day: ⭐
Today’s ‘Star moment of the day’, has to be hearing about the fabulous work that the children have been doing as part of their PE session today. The children have been experiencing different elements of dance over the past few weeks during their PE lessons and last week voted on what type of dance they wanted to focus on for the next 3 weeks. The class voted on ‘cheerleading’ and today they got to experience their first cheer leading lesson! 🙌 G-O GO CREW ELMER!! I can’t wait to see the photos and to take part in a lesson with my crew next week! 💃🕺🙌
Todays HoWL average is: 2.7
Another little dip today but I know this is down to a few crew members letting themselves down today but I am confident that this score will be back up tomorrow! 🤞 👍 Can I also just praise Crew Elmer for being really honest with their self reflections and HoWL scores today. Well done for being so honest Crew Elmer! 🙌
This week’s HoWL target is: 3.4
How can we develop this tomorrow?
Tomorrow Crew Elmer need to make sure that they are being kind at all times of the day and that they are working as hard as they can allowing them to achieve Gold Standard and produce beautiful work.
Today’s HoWL Hero:
Today Miss Clarke chose our HoWL hero and again it was one that I strongly agreed with! 🤩 Sienna was chosen for ‘working hard’ all day today! I recognised this during our Hooked on Books session as Sienna was putting her hand up lots, was great at retrieving quotes from the text and was able to use both the sentence starters and bonus words in her answers. Miss Clarke also added that Sienna worked hard in dance today and demonstrated some great moves! 💃 Excellent work Sienna! Well done! 🙌👏
Golden Ticket Winner for Handwriting: ✏📝
This went to Ryleigh for most improved handwriting this week! Ryleigh has been working really hard on her handwriting, making sure that her letters are correctly joined and that her letters are the correct size. Beautiful work Ryleigh! Well done! 👏👍👍🙌✏📝
My star moment today has been watching the children learn their dance in PE. The children loved it! I cannot wait to see the final product/dance! 👍😊
Average is: 2.9 – we are getting higher! 👏
Our Weekly HoWL target is: 3.3!
How can we develop this tomorrow?
We have had a fussy day again today, so I think our target for the week is for Crew Marsh to listen and follow every little instruction given. 👍
Today’s HoWL Hero:
Our Be Smart hero today is Jake!✨🙌
Jake has tried really hard today to make sure he is always listening and following instructions, well done Jake! It is great to see that you have taken on board and acted on Crew feedback straight away!
In expedition today, we have been learning about Sikhs and the Langar. The Langar is the sharing of food with others. The Sikhs believe that everyone should be equal and therefore treated the same. They prepare a vegetarian meal to ensure everyone can eat it and this is ate while sat on the floor. They do this to show the love of God and to be closer to him.
Today’s HoWL average is: 3.0
Our Weekly HoWL target is: 3.0
How can we develop this tomorrow?
To improve further, Crew Shields need to ensure that we are listening carefully so we know what we are doing.
Our Be kKind hero today is Maddie!
Maddie was nominated by her peers because they had recognised for working hard and being kind to others. Maddie always supports her peers and today she helped another child out when they had forgotten how to carry and exchange. Well done Maddie.
Tuesday ✔
Highlight of the day:
Today we have enjoyed following our algorithms in computing to make a jam sandwich! We are really good at making sandwiches and can probably make our own packed lunches 😁
Our HOWL heroes are…
Work hard: Lylah 👏
Get smart: Bronwyn 👏
Be kind: Elijah 👏
Our HOWL average was 3.4 today. Well done Crew Welburn!
A lovely start to the week. We have been looking at how to get smart in Maths by answering arithmetic style test questions, discussing differences in families.
We also continued to look at our expedition question of ‘What’s the most valuable gift you can give?’. We started to look at how Sikhs value a community spirit.
Today’s HoWL average 3
Our HoWL target is: 3
How can we develop Continue to get smart. Think about how we can learn and remember number bonds to 10 and 20.
Howl Hero
Our Hero today was Layton. He has really worked hard today to develop his arithmetic skills and knowledge of sikhism.
It’s been a very busy day for us today and one that has seemed to race by. Some tricky learning has pushed most of us but everyone should be proud that they didn’t give up and persevered with the challenges.
Today’s HoWL average is: 3.2
Our Weekly HoWL target is: 3.3
I wonder if…
I wonder if we can start to pick up the pace a little more tomorrow and complete even more learning in each session.
Today’s HoWL Heroes:
Our Work Hard HoWL Hero today is Heidi!
What a great day it’s been for Heidi today. She has impressed us with her focus on her learning and has set the rest of us a challenge with how quickly she has worked throughout the day. Can anyone match her?
